Let's See Your Ricoh GR Photos

I should be getting my GR III this friday...
Looking forward to it and having some FUN

Played with a friend’s ... did not think i would like the size being more compact but to my surprise it felt great in the hands
Fell in LOVE with the 50 crop mode (more than the normal 28)
Will probably get the GW4 /21mm converter lens

My only concern: seemed to hunt quite abit in a fairly well lit store... I suppose just using snap focus cures that

v1.1 software fixes the low(ish) light hunting issue.

this is taken from the first ricoh GR which i really like the high contrast mode. recently just purchase the GRlll but i cant help but

feel that the high contrast mode in the new GRlll is just lacking something as compare to the old one. is it true that something has change or is it just me?
 
"have to get closer and more comfortable shooting a 28"


Helen, I love looking at 28mm pics but two obstacles in my own work are

trying to organize/compose the "extra" visual elements in the often complex W/A view, especially on the run as street pics tend to be

AND that hesitancy to get as close as I should.

Nonetheless, I'm working on it.
Been working on it since the 1980s... :)
 
One thing I would say, which you probably know already since you've been doing this since the 80's, is that it helps is to study people who you think are good at it and see how they handle the frame. William Klein, Daido Moriyama, Gary Winogrand all used 28 a lot. Look hard at what they are doing and try and copy it, you'll fail in an interesting way and the pictures will be yours.

Also, crop. If you don't use the whole frame, toss it out and keep the good part. No need to pretend you're Henri Cartier Bresson (who cropped some of his famous work despite his dictate not to).

I'm turning into this thread's equivalent of the uncle with the slideshow, and I'm loving it.

Nice photos.

But, please don't hog our bandwidth and instead link 1024 pixel wide images rather than the 6000 pixel by 4000 pixel originals you're posting now!

After the full image file is downloaded, the forum software automatically shrinks the images to 1024 pixels wide anyway.
